Amorim sings praises of Heaven and Dorgu in win

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim conceded his team’s Boxing Day 1-0 victory over Newcastle United was far from pretty, but hailed the grit and togetherness that got them over the line.

Patrick Dorgu struck in the first half before the Red Devils fended off an onslaught of Newcastle chances after the break, particularly in the dying minutes, to clinch a vital English Premier League win.

Amorim said desire made the difference at Old Trafford.

“We had to suffer all together in the stadium,” he told reporters.

“Especially if you see the second half, we managed to defend, sometimes with a back six, but we suffered together, and that is a good feeling. If we have always this spirit, we are going to win so, so, so many games.

“I think it’s something that we need, to feel that we can win sometimes without playing so well, that we can win games with the spirit and with the togetherness in the team.”
